If people from Pakistan cant be Paki's,

Then how can we be Brit's?

Artemis

A Pakistani can be British but they won't be English, Irish, Scottish or Welsh. They'll still be a Pakistani.

No, I'm English, British takes away the identities of the countries.

No. I am English. Being called 'British' is an insult.

Yes, but I first think of myself as English.

Technically it depends where in the UK you are from. (Great) Britain comprises Scotland, England and Wales while the UK is made up of Britain, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. The Channel Islands and the Scilly Isles are not a part of the UK but are Crown Dependencies.

Incidentally, Scotland and England are officially Constituent Countries, Wales is a Principality and Northern Ireland is a Province, within the UK.

Having Scottish and Irish ancestors and being born in England... which is something I had no control over...I am English by birth, (although I'm also entitled to become an Irish citizen if I so wish) and because England is part of the island of Britain then I am also British by birth...something else I had no control over. English people did not call this island Britain, that was done by the Romans...from Italy...and it was King James Vl of SCOTLAND/James l of England who started referring to the island of Britain as Great Britain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

Great Britain is the term used for the island containing the contiguous nationsÂ¹ of England, Scotland and Wales. Great Britain is used to distinguish Britain from Brittania Minor, or Brittany, in France. The term "Great Britain" was officially used only after King James I (who was also James VI of Scotland) acceded to the throne of England and Wales in 1603, styling himself King of Great Britain, although legislative union between Scotland and England did not take place until 1707

I'm English,
I'm British,
I don't really mind which,
But i guess it's a common misconception outside the uk that Britain is England, so maybe i'd feel differently if i were Scottish.
but otherwise i'm quite happy to be classified by our little isles, and i think i have some Scottish and Irish blood in me to.

My boyfriend was born and raised in England. He considers himself first as English and then British.

craftytraveller

I would say that I am British, as my mum is Scottish and my dad is English. I'm British as it covers everything!

Erin W

No. I'm Northern Irish :)

I am that I am faults included

Yes I am an I live in east sussex

Jazz Tiger

Northern Irish people are from the UK but many would proclaim themselves Irish rather than British. I think a few Scotsmen would say the same thing.

carina

no I don't consider myself as being a brit ... I live in England of English descent so therefore consider myself primarily English ... otherwise I would consider myself British (but NEVER a brit thank you very much) ... and I hold a UK passport

Psycho

I am and always will be British before I am English. In my order of presedence it goes:

1) Britain
2) Commonwealth
3) England
4) European Union

Steve S

My passport says I'm British so I suppose I must be. However, I don't read the Daily Mail, I don't vote Tory, and I didn't go to church just to get my kids into the best school, so I'm not so sure.

Father Jake

Brit is an insulting term, and one I will resist at every opportunity.
I am English. Everyone else's racial stereotypical manacles are their problems... not mine.

zafir

I was born in England and considered myself English, and still say I'm of English background when asked.

The term 'Brit' is never used by anyone from the UK. It's a derogatory term used in other countries to describe the English. The English people I know, and that includes friends and relatives still in England, consider themselves English not British.

Birmingham and English

I live in Northern Ireland and have the right to dual nationality. Only consider myself Irish though. The Brits are not nice - internment, Bloody Sunday etc

Facile Princeps

The government want us to think we are European

jennivega2001

I live in Glasgow, I see myself as a Scot. I am Scottish through and through and Proud of it. Without the Scots the world would be a crappy place. All you have to do is look at the all the things we have invented and gave the world. Plus we have the best slang, best sense of humour and best people in 'Britain'. Britain is just a cover story so the English can take our money.......I LOVE SCOTLAND !!!!!!!!!
